| Morning Joe ventured into well-trodden territory on Thursday when they discussed the current state of the GOP and the type of leader the party needs to revitalize itself. One strong leader is all the party needs, the panel agreed. Specifically, one who’s unafraid of confronting members of the party who make outrageous remarks (a là Allen West). “If I’m a Republican, I want everybody to run for president,” James Carville asserted, noting that someone needs to stand out after beating everyone else. But if congressional Republicans keeping “saying stuff, you’re just going to have your

I would agree with the statement, "They resent everything." Playing "Dr. No" isn´t going to win back power. Listening, negotiating, making your case is a more impactful road to power.
For example, take Obamacare. It is the law of the land. Supremes have ruled on it. Sure, it has plenty of problems; negotiate and discuss those and make it better. But get passed this "the whole thing should be repealed" attitude. That isn´t going to happen. Get in the trenches and make it a better program - more cost-effective, more workable. The all or nothing approach is not working.

I´m confused.
Carville says the GOP needs a leader who will "slap somebody back" and "turn out against the crazies in your own party".
Barnicle says the GOP "resents" everything such as gay marriage, "immigrants", and, horrors, common-sense talk. We are the party of the "resentment factor".
So here´s where I get confused. Who among the Democrats is their leader? Seriously? Is it Obama? If so, who does he "slap back" when they make crazy comments about guns, rape, not reading a law before voting on it, etc. Or how about when they take pictures of their privates and send them to co-eds or spend campaign money on Michael Jackson memorabilia? Yeah, those crazies.
And the King of Resentment rests in the WH with his Queen as I write. They resent the wealthy, the successful, the religious, gun owners, patriots, the military.
But to hear these two lefty idiots, the Democrats are our only hope, cause they´re just so brilliant, tough and welcome all ideas.
Right.

Hey #3, Heller vs. DC is the "law of the land" too, but that does not stop you from dropping inane logic-free agitprop on every thread that mentions the word "guns," does it?
Sorry, but we are not going to surrender our principles just to mollify a handful of dolts on low rated TV shows and their sycophants who haunt the threads on conservative discussion boards.

1. Yeah, well -- if everything the Administration and/or Dem party pushes is damaging, un-Constitutional, or both, then everything they offer ought to be opposed 100%.
2. FTA: Mike Barnicle.... said the party needs to realize that the talk radio audience "is not the country."
Yeah, well, with some 305-million-plus, there is no "thing" that´s "the country." Including: NARAL; NAMBLA; SEIU; La Raza; the AFT; the CBC; the Sierra Club; NOW; and on and on and on. Oh -- it might be something else yet again if 55 million babies hadn´t been killed on the wishes of the women who were pregnant with them [can´t call them the "mothers"].
3. FTA: [Barnicle said].... secondly: "They resent everything. They resent immigrants, they resent gay marriage, they resent common-sense talk. The resentment factor is so thick among some Republicans."
Well, Mike -- ah, nuts. No point making a seriatim refutation. He´d never notice the intellectual whupping. So I´ll just ask, "Wrote that yourself, didja, Mike? Hmmm?"

I am worried about the national debt. I am worried about more taxes on me preventing me from buying things my family needs. I am worried about government intrusion into my daily life and its simple pleaures. Call me crazy if you want, but my worries are not crazy.

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Women will have the chance to join the Navy SEALS, Army Rangers and other specialized combat outfits beginning in 2016 under plans approved Tuesday by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. Female candidates will also be able to join front-line Army and Marine Corps infantry units as part of the department’s decision. “The days of the ‘Rambo’ are over,” Maj. Gen. Bennet Sacolick, head of force development for Special Operations Command, said Tuesday during a briefing announcing the changes. Tuesday’s announcement builds on former Pentagon chief Leon Panetta’s decision in January to end the military’s long-standing ban

Michael Hastings, a contributor to Rolling Stone and BuzzFeed, died on Tuesday morning in a car crash in Los Angeles at the unforgivably young age of 33.He is best known, rightly, for his 2010 Rolling Stone profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who as commander of the U.S.-led force in Afghanistan was the face of the war that Hastings saw as misguided and poorly managed. His profile, “The Runaway General,” portrayed McChrystal as a loose cannon so sure of himself and his strategy for the war that he and his staff openly derided their civilian overseers,

Senators on Tuesday rejected building the 700 miles of double-tier border fencing Congress authorized just seven years ago, with a majority of the Senate saying they didn’t want to delay granting illegal immigrants legal status while the fence was being built. The 54-39 vote to reject the fence shows the core of the immigration deal is holding. The vote broke mostly along party lines, though five Republicans, including Sen. Marco Rubio and the rest of the bill’s authors, voted against the fence, and two Democrats voted for it. Republicans had offered the fence as a way to

[Video] Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory (R-Opelousas) explains why he recently switched from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party. He discusses the history of the Republican Party, founded as an Abolitionist Movement in 1854. Guillory talks about how the welfare state is only a mechanism for politicians to control the black community. Hello, my name is Elbert Lee Guillory, and I’m the senator for the twenty-fourth district right here in beautiful Louisiana. Recently I made what many are referring to as a ‘bold decision’ to switch my party affiliation to the Republican Party.

Tough global rules to stop mega-rich firms and individuals from dodging tax were unveiled at the G8 summit today. David Cameron demanded the world’s most powerful countries act to stop countries shifting profits to low-cost tax havens instead of paying they dues where there are earned. The Lough Erne Declaration - signed by the UK, US, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Japan and Russia - vows to ´fight the scourge of tax evasion´ by ensuring automatic exchange of tax information and changing the rules to stop multinational companies shifting profits across borders to avoid paying their fair share.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.

It is understood that a contingency plan is in place for the unlikely event that an attempt would be made on the President’s life. The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution. As part of the “evacuation route” plan, they would be able to spirit the President by chopper to one of the carriers where a jet is on standby to take him back to the United States.
